The funniest thing about this is that if the sonic community kept their mouth shut they would have won

The Sonic fandom attacking the Genshin community was like a single shark harrassing a baby dolphin and evoking the wrath of the entire pod

The thing about the bribery, there wasn't a single word about us getting primos if we won this vote, the sonic community just saw the fact that we got primos for the playstation partner award, and instantly made up the lie that hoyo was promising us primos if we won, which was absolute crap.

I’m an active member of both fandoms this was just insanity I had no idea what was going on and I just ate popcorn in my comfy corner and watched the chaos and everyone up in flames

I think bribery argument is kinda invalid since we got primogems ONLY for getting nominated, not for winning the award.

Genshin community drama always bring a tear to my eye. Imagine uniting millions of people with different races, cultures, countries, across the world to collectively bash on a single thing. It is beautiful.

What's even stupider is that, after the Game Awards fiasco, Sonic Frontiers got another chance to win another award on The Steam Awards with their musics getting nominated. They made another push just like TGA, but less agressive this time. And the result is.... they lost to Final Fantasy VII: Remake, a game that was released in 2020 that just got ported on Steam that year. Which in my opinion, it's far more insulting than Genshin because at least Genshin still have monthly updates and going strong during that year. It's safe to say, Sonic Fandom will have a huge *grudge* against Genshin fandom for a while now, but as a fan of both sides? i can't help but laugh

NEW BAND MEMBER

the community that allowed to shitting on Genshin community is the Genshin community itself

I'm a member of both fandoms, and it really sucked to see both communities warring over something so trivial. Like, most Sonic fans really liked Frontiers, because it really felt like a step in the right direction for the future of Sonic games. It's not a perfect game, but it still does a lot of things right, so we enjoyed it. Like aside from the insane soundtrack, the storyline was cool (it was co-written by a long-time writer for the Sonic comics), the character writing felt solid, and the open-world-style gameplay felt fresh (and when combined with the ability to play as different characters in the new DLC, it was like a spiritual successor to the Sonic Adventure games) So understandably Sonic fans like myself were very passionate about the game and are hopeful for the franchise's future. But the Sonic Sweep thing did go too far. I just hope there isn't any bad blood between us fandoms anymore lol

I was like Mujin, I play Genshin in full swing and had no idea this was going on. I couldn't care less as Mujin has stated early on in his video, "we were chilling." I agree with a lot what he said as we already won several awards back in 2020/2021, this award in 2022 wasn't a big of a deal for us.

its crazy how a lot of sonic fans says shit like ”pedophile game” or some shit. im not denying there are some creepy people in genshin community. BUT…lets not forget some sonic community are also into beastiality 😂

Btw the time when the awards site stopped showing the votes happened because someone on the sonic comunity tried multiple times to imput 10k+ bot votes into the system and they even got called out on twitter.

Mujin and Akashot are neck and neck in becoming the Internet Historian for Genshin Impact

As someone who is in both communities, I legit peaced out the moment the war started...

Oh man, I was there and since I am/was a part of both fandoms, this drama was so stupid. Like, Sonic fandom would've won had it not been for the slurs. Genshin fans did not even care for the award before that.

Genshin community: it's not about the primogems, it's about sending a message

As both a Genshin and Sonic fan myself , this was so stupidly hillarious

I think Mujin is a hilarious content creator, especially at the very end of the video 😂

Ok but like in my opinion I feel like once racism and stuff started flying around I won't be surprised if a lot of the Asian fanbase voted for Genshin even if they didn't care about winning simply because everyone was mad at the racism.

This drama will be a part of history for new players.

No, because I was playing Genshin every second I could play at that time, but I had NO IDEA that something like this was happening.

Funniest thing: there already was a unanimous decision for gamers to let Sonic win back then, for once. Genshin Impact already won so many awards at this point in time, so it's pointless to add more. Until they saw the dead Lumine fanart, which triggerred many Lumine fans, which started the grudge voting. Which escalated to Chinese Slurs from Sonic Fandom as payback, which activated a Patriotic War Protocol from China, and also convinced the entire gaming community (not just Genshin) to vote out of spite and to teach Sonic Fans a lesson on Humility. And thay, my friend, is the summary.

IIRC I think that Genshin was also down for update maintenance at the height of this voting war, so the Sonic community poking at a massive community that had nothing better to do for a few hours was also an interesting choice lol

Bran's reaction overlapping mujin's to THAT fanart is hilarious 😂

13:32 Tbf, Genshin was going to give out rewards regardless of winning or not because they issue those primogems for getting both nominated and winning.

For once,the genshin community werent the instigators

Here’s what confused me about the bribery accusations, if Genshin fans were being bribed, why didn’t they really vote in the first two rounds?

I heard of genshin winning at the time but had NO IDEA it was because of this ridiculous war 😭 Maybe because I didn't have Twitter at that time so I was able to avoid the drama lmao

Something to remember about rewards for winning prizes: Genshin previously did not give anything for winning prizes, the community itself was the one that insisted that Genshin give some kind of reward for supporting them, so Genshin agreed and started giving rewards for winning prizes. , but it was something they were not going to do until the community demanded it. And during that time, people were waiting for the update, the TCG, Scaramouche and to make everything worse, the CN community was in Mourning (a former president died) nice reaction :3

They were REALLY lucky that the Chinese didn't decide to strike that hard, because oh boy... if you've seen some previous events then you know how vicious they can be when provoked

Unlike Sonic, Genshin didn't even mention about the voting event on their fb or twıtter, until the final result was announced, so the BRIBERY was HOAX. If they actually tried to make players vote, Genshin would have won since round 1. But no, most Genshin voters only knew about it after Sonic fans made the ruckus. The rewards were roughly the same amount of every after major updates, and you would get it whether Genshin won or lost (since it was already nominated), regardless you voted or not. Most Genshin voters simply wanted Sonic to lose.

As an autistic person, I'm not sure how he felt about his use of the word autism throughout the video, but on the other hand, the Sonic community really has a weirdly high amount of autistic people for some reason. Something about him just grabs us.

The one scene from breaking bad where Walter was told that if he’d just shut up about his pride everything would have gone well That day, genshin United as a game, Asia and Europe. Harmony amongst us to just crush the sonic fandom

BRO I WAS WONDERING WHY PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT SONIC AND LUMINE- I was a genshin fan at the time, had no idea this was happening, but being Chinese and a genshin player and seeing some of the stuff that was said, I 100% agree. THE SONIC FANDOM WAS ASKING FOR IT.

The warthunder with the military leak is true. Because some players aren't happy that the tanks being released at that time isn't on par with the real specs of that said tank. It was surreal and i heard it still happens from time to time

We didn't even get amy rewards for the Players Voice awards, it was 800 primos for being nominated. A full 1600 primos was rewarded when Genshin won best mobile game the previous year. Edit: Oh I'm not complaining about the rewards, i honestly don't care. Just as I didn't care before the racist shit happened in this award.

We learned a valuable lesson: "just be respectful and move on"

I wasn't in that chemical trench warfare (I say the chemical part because of the toxicity there was) but man... If the Sonic community had stayed silent BEFORE the winner was announced, nothing would have happened, but no... They had to celebrate early X'D

As someone who was playing both Sonic Frontiers and Genshin Impact when this happened, I was both surprised and incredibly confused when I found out that out of nowhere there was some kind of beef going on between the fandoms. Personally I don't really care about any of those award shows nonsense so this honestly didn't even come close to bothering me. What DID bother me is the unreasonable hate towards Genshin, the blind haters is what annoys me so when those people don't get what they want it brings me a bit of satisfaction. I honestly love both games I really do, I just wish people didn't try to ruin them with stupid petty sh!t that has nothing to do with the games themselves. In my opinion one of the worst mistakes you can make is to judge a game or a show entirely based on the bad side of their fandom and not the game/show themselves for what they are. An example of this is Undertale, it's a genuinely a good game but if you ask around you'll more then likely hear more about the fandom then the game itself.

This drama is the most exciting drama and what makes me like the Genshin fandom, the entire Genshin fandom who are lazy about voting awards, suddenly full of Genshin votes because the Sonic fandom is badmouthing Genshin. In the end, the Sonic fandom uses bots to compete for Genshin votes hahaha

Sonic community: *taking L after L after L* Genshin community: *tearing each other apart in peace* Sonic community: *gets one W* HAH OFCOURSE WE WOULD WIN JUST LOOK WHO WE ARE UP AGAINST A BUNCH OF LOSERS Genshin community: *stop and about to tear the sonic community a new one* Sonic community: EVEN IF THEY TRIED THEY CANT POSSIBLY WIN! Genshin community: *tries and wins easily due to a significantly larger community size* Sonic community: *suprised pikachu face*

This was the time my CN friends made a document compiling screenshots of sonic fans trashing Genshin. They sent it out to every contacts and urged us to vote it was funny and I did vote just to piss off sonic fans. I didn't even know that award existed but heyy I guess thank you for letting us know🤣

The fact the sonic fandom was about to have one of their biggest W and dubs ever, but lost it because some few fuckers started talking shit. The hubris and sadness I was feeling from both ends was hilarious

16:50 "Squid" is one of the world bosses in Sonic Frontiers. Because of how it just appears so dramatically and unannounced it's kind of a meme lol

The sonic Fandom did the worst thing possible They poke the Beehive that's it's the Genshin Impact Community

16:55 There's an enemy in the game simply called "SQUID" that just appears with this unnecessarily awesome zoom in and sound effect which pretty much became a meme for frontiers.

One correction: genshin NEVER gave us primos for winning, it was for being NOMINATED in those awards Imagine Genshin giving primos for free every time we vote for them... that's not the Genshin we know xD

oml I remember this time, it was absolute chaos lol and it was honestly kind of funny at first, but then sonic fans started harassing (racial slurs/comments, death threats, and it go SO SO much worse) poor artists, chinese artists specifically. Why???? Wtf did they do to you?? Bro they didnt even know that the tga or sonic fans existed T-T.

This is the third time watching this video, first the original video, then tectone’s reaction and now bran’s reaction, and I still find it so funny and entertaining to watch, man mujin is pumping out some funny videos

As soneone was part of the community and watching it closely, Genshin really didnt do anything but vote and make memes. 'Salt for the Salt god' And that guy you thought was joking, it was halg joking and half serious. Like the Sonic community was the majority of the problem while the Genshin Communith didn't even fo it for the primos. We just wanted go humble Toxic Sonic 'fans'. We made up with the chill part of the Sonic fans and joke aboit it afterwards. And right now, I saw someone trying to start with Spider-man. So many people try to stop that right thsn and there by BOTH communtiy.

whats wrong about what Bran said about "bribery" Genshin don't offer Primogems for winning award its just that when Genshin won an award for the 1st time they gave a reward so after that players kept thinking/wanting they will give rewards again if they won another reward so they vote Genshin for the reward

A modern day Icarus. The Sonic fandom shot themselves in the collective foot.

Genshin fans: *arguing with each other about who knows what* Toxic Sonic fans: *gets too cocky* Genshin fans: So you have chosen…death The people who has no idea what’s going on:…f%(k this sh!t I’m out!

I love how I didn't even know this was going on until it ended. I was too engrossed in elden ring vs god of war to care about the other categories 😂

I think if Hoyoverse didn't give any primogems for the nomination (they gave primos for the nomination, not for winning tho) it would have been a bigger slap in the face to the Sonic Community.

I had a vague idea of what was happening last year for the tga’s but I was too focused on finishing high school (which I graduated last year) to even care about it. It’s hilarious how the sonic fandom genuinely thought they had a chance when their community is 10x less than Genshin 💀

I think that's the thing though, the community nor genshin themselves was bribing, players just highlighted "hey if we actually win we will definitely get thank you primos" because that's pretty consistent with how they operate. I wouldn't consider that bribery. Wondering if anyone will make a video about the back and forth with the Spider-Man fandom

what’s even crazier was that it happened around my birthday so seeing angry sonic fans was the best birthday gift i ever gotten. i love fandom wars.

I got a lot of laughs from the war ngl like some sonic fans were being funny, the genshin fans were also being a lil funny

okay from this point of view, Sonic Fans started the war. Genshin fans were just fighting back

bran: your whole account is based off a video game grow tf up me: isn't yours to?

Considering that Genshin Impact is constantly updated with new content, I think it should have been in the player's award And these content updates aren't small. They are getting big maps and stories. So I think that games like that should be included and it would be unfair to not do so.

It's the Sonic Fandom that started it. I don't care of Genshin win or lose, but they're so toxic that everyone united and managed to give them the Elemental Burst with +9999999 Damage back on them.

The character development of bran, from hating the band members to loving them, im so we- i mean moved , yes yes, moved

Genshin Impact Rule34: Chad Sonic Rule34: Virgin

what's his deal with autism I was very uncomfortable hearing him talk down on us like that :(

The fact Genshin won out of spite (and primogems)

I'm repeating my words on Mujin's post: "The Rule34 art from this clash was monstrous as well."

Unleashed was goated. Hot take: the warehog was fun Also I’m still surprised/disappointed there were no fanart of traveler,paimon,sonic and chip having lunch and hanging out or something

People is so insane to see their favorates losing these days..

I love this video from Mujin cause it's so fun and chaotic and I remember this but I didn't know just bad it got 😂 4:55 you are correct it was Sonic and the video for those wondering is Nux Takus game show

19:25 Mujin: Guys we finally jave a new band member joining us in Discord. Bran: *neurons activated*

Hahahaha. I remember that I had interactions with the Sonic fandom before the whole Genshin Community went to war against them. Honestly, Sonic Frontier could've won the award if the Sonic Community would leave the Genshin Fans alone. 🤣 We were just minding our own business voting Genshin Impact. EDIT: I'm so happy to be reminded and be in the middle of that moment.

We as the Genshin community seem to basically have the combined power of the entire swifty and Army fanbases, a force powerful enough to topple the government and billion dollar companys within 24 hours x

As a sonic fan I never thought there was a war between genshin impact and sonic frontier's 😮

To be honest,I started playing Genshin 6 months ago,and I didn't hear of all this drama up until now 💀

The Sonic fandom just needs to suck it up and accept the fact that they are NOT big enough to pick fights with ANYONE!

For clarity, Squid is the name of a miniboss in Sonic Frontiers. Its kinda funny because when you first find it the camera zooms in and the word squid just pops up.

Damn I was considering subbing to Mujin until I heard the weird shots against autism. Reminds me of a 15 year old trying to sound edgy by taking shots at people for having a disability. Gross

That game awards was the funniest thing I've seen in 2022. I wonder what will happen this year with Star Rail😂

People forget that a community as large as genshin is bound to have its fair share of psychopaths, out of millions of people the odds say you can probably find every kind of weirdo in there somewhere!

Didn't really expect to see FeFe being part of sonicsweep tbh

as far as i remember hoyoverse never said : " we will give 800 primos to all traveler if we win the awards " and btw the guy on the video (GorTheMovieGod) do a reaction video on it lol

A thing that video failed to mention was that Scarmouche was coming soon, so that was another motivator to earn Primos. Least, that's how I saw it. Also, probably the funniest thing was the outcome to this. The letter that gave us the 800 Primos was about being nominated for the award. Not for WINNING it, only NOMINATED.

This was a great way to learn that this happened almost a year later.

Haha been waiting for you to react to this

I didn’t delve too much into learning about this incident at the time, but I remember my friend telling me about it during school one time since she keeps up with the game awards 😂

5 days late, but the bribery accusation is what put me into the war lmao. I remember linking to people that Genshin has lost awards in the past and gave out primos anyways. Winning doesn't matter.

Its funny how if the genshin community unanimously agree on something they can drag it down and beat it up

Ik this was a small portion of the video, but did he really have to slander autism? 😭😭

The one time when Genshin community was innocent until they were provoked

I was part of the community when it was the aniversary thing. While I didn't know anything about the classroom thing just the 2* note on playstore and how luch they were angry. But in this oh god I heard every single thing and laughed so much. I didn't participate bc it was just insanity but it was so funny. The best part is when the sonic fandom actually still believed they could win after taunting and accusing genshin's of using bots. Which is ridiculous bc even without they would horribly lose xD

No way, if they didn't give a reward for winning, Genshin players would riot. Also, the devs didn't say, "Vote for us, if we win we'll give you primos," they said AFTER winnning, "Cool, we won, here's an appreciation reward." People didn't know they would get rewarded, although some may have expected it, and boy would they had been pissed if they didn't get rewarded.

I've been waiting for this dude lol.

While this is a good explantions of the whole debacle, I don't like that he compared the Sonic fandom to autistic people, as I am autistic & sure people can tell me just laugh it off, but I don't want to have someone else making fun of my disability only I can do that but anyway I like both games & think they're both fine, I obviously didn't play Frontiers, I wanted to but I just never got around to it, but like I said both are greats games idk why the toxic side of the sonic fandom felt the need to get so furious over Genshin being nominated for the game awards again

yeah I remember when this was going on I had no clue it was happening. I was just hanging out in Genshin streams and some people in chat brought it up. I honestly just...continued chilling because everything already happened at that point and my mind was pretty much in a "ok, and? what was the point of bringing this up?" mindset.

can't wait for this year for Sonic Superstars vs Honkai: Star Rail

this is gonna be fun, let me prepare popcorn before I watch

I remember playing genshin and getting so much rewards for winning the vote and the PlayStation. I was like cool, free primogems. I had no idea some things like this was happening.
